I don't think I have. I think that the vagaries of SEO and the goal of promoting the author's brand/book is definitely the reason this article is several screens instead of a 3 word aphorism that we all just shrug at and move along.
- supersrdjan 6y agoHow is this conclusion different than saying that, say, reading anything in any magazine is a waste of time because the magazine sells advertising space?
- normalnorm 6y ago> How is this conclusion different than saying that, say, reading anything in any magazine is a waste of time because the magazine sells advertising space? It is different because the business model of the magazine is to create some content that people enjoy, so that they will tolerate the ads that come with it. Here, the content itself is an ad in disguise. That is the business model of SEO, "content marketing" etc, and this is why it keeps flooding the web with mediocrity.
